i t 1 r 1 F t BY MR. CHAKLES S. ALBERTSON Formerly County Superintendent of Schools, Camden County During the second and third decades of the century Camden City and County rapidly became an indnstri 'l area. It became very evidi nt that there was an insistent demand for skilled operators for these industries. Employers and employees agreed that cn institution for industrial training should be established in Camden County and thct such insti- tution should train not only for technical understanding and mechanical skill but citizenship. And that training should not be limited to y01l1g apprentices but should include operators and mechanics in service. It was evident training should flso include academic development and that a department for this should be included. An evening school for employed operators and craftmen who desired an opportunity to improve their knowledge and skill should be provided. With these objects in view, the cooperation and advice of employers and employees was sought and enthusiastically given. Securing capable and interested administrators and a competent faculty required close study and discrimation. The result is YOUR CAMDEN COUNTY VocATxoNAL Scnool. E

WORK VVorkl Thank God for the might of it. The ardor, the urge, the delight of it- Work that springs from the heart's desire Setting the brain and the soul on fire- Oh, what is so good as the heat of it, And what is so glad as the beat of it, And what is so kind as the stern command, Challenging the brain and heart and hand? Workl Thank God for the pride of it, For the beautiful, conquering tide of it, Sweeping the life in its furious flood, Thrilling the arteries, cleansing the blood, Mastering stupor and dull despair, Moving the dreamer to do the dare. Oh, what is so good as the urge of it, And what is so glad as the surge of it, Rousing the torpid soul from sleep? Work! Thank God for the pace of it, For the terrible, Keen, swift race of it, Fiery steeds in full control, Nostrils a-quiver to greet the goal. Work, the Power that drives behind, Guiding the purposes, taming the mind, Holding the runaway wishes back, Reining the will to one steady t.rack, Speeding the energies faster, faster, Triumphing over disaster. Oh, what is so good as the pain of it, And what is so great as the gain of it? And what is so kind as the cruel goad, Forcing us on through the rugged road? Workl Thank God for the swing of it, For the clamoring, hammering ring of it, Passion and labor daily hurled On the mighty anvils of the world. Oh, what is so fierce as the flame of it? And what is so huge as the aim of it? Thundering on through dearth and doubt, Calling the plan of the Maker out. Work, the Titan, Work, the friend, Shaping the earth to a glorious end, Doing whatever the spirit wills- Rending a continent apart, To answer the dream of the Master heart. Thank God for the world where none may shlrk Thank God for the splendor of work! -ANGELA MORGAN
